Yes, we realize there's another Handmade Pledge site. However, that one is focused on the holiday season, and
we believe the pledge to buy handmade can extend much further than that. Please consider taking this pledge
and making handmade a life-changing choice :)

I pledge to consider handmade alternatives for all of my purchases, whether they are for everyday items or gifts,
for myself, my family or my friends.

The purpose of this site is to inspire ourselves and each other
to continue to buy handmade goods. Handmade items have a soul and
enrich our lives in a way that mass-produced items simply can't.
Come tell us the story of why you started buying handmade items, and
how they have changed your life. Or simply post about your most recent or favorite handmade
purchase -- that in itself can be inspiring!
